'Time for Outrage' and shots in Marseilles

Outraged by the price asked by the owner of an apartment that I badly want... and even more
'indignant': Stéphane Hessel died today.
I'll spend 3 more days in Marseille still looking forward for my future flat on the south side 
of the old port.

(I'm at Vertigo Hostel, in the
computer room)

I made an offer to the greedy woman, based on current values of
Marseille's real estate market, at a price approved by the same 
agency that offers that property for sale. 
I'm waiting for an answer without much hope, the woman will 
persist, as she has done for months, despite common sense.

I therefore visited another apartment and got involved with the 
agency, so I've posted a new ad to sell my Paris flat - no agency 
in order to foster the buyer with a fair price. Now waiting to see what happens.
. . .

Nevertheless, when in Marseilles I walk and shoot lots of pics...

La Major Cathedral across the harbour, from the Passarelle.

The Courthouse, backside.

The Stock Exchange building (1860), on the Canebière avenue.

Construction site of the shade house on 'Quai des Belges', head of the city's old harbour.

The all new 'Ombrière', designed to shade the fish market, opened on March 2, 2013.

Saint Ferréol Church at sunset.

Clouds as a quilt spread on the old port.

1 Billion Strike, Dance, Rise, Worldwide

This video is worth a thousand words...

On Thursday, 14 February, women and men in 203 countries will come together 

in the largest day of mass action ever to stop violence against women and girls, 

to express their outrage and to strike, dance and rise to support an end to violence 

against women once and for all.
